ABOUT THE 7TH INDIA IVF SUMMIT 2026
Breaking the Silence. Spreading Hope.
More than 47 years ago, on 25th July 1978, history was rewritten with the birth of Louise Brown — the world’s first IVF baby. That landmark day is now celebrated globally as World IVF Day. Yet, even today, infertility remains shrouded in myths, silence, and stigma — especially in a society bound by taboos around sexual health, menstrual hygiene, and reproductive challenges.
India is facing a dual challenge: declining fertility rates and a rising burden of infertility. According to NFHS-5 (2019-21), the Total Fertility Rate has dropped to 2.0 nationally — 1.6 in urban areas and 2.1 in rural areas. Despite remarkable medical advancements, millions of couples continue to struggle in silence due to lack of awareness and deep-rooted orthodoxies.
The encouraging news is that science has advanced dramatically. Modern IVF treatments now offer 35-40% success per cycle on average, with success rates reaching 50-60% for women under 35 years. With multiple cycles, the cumulative chance of parenthood is significantly higher.
The 7th India IVF Summit, organized to commemorate World IVF Day, is a powerful platform that brings together leading fertility experts, government authorities, policymakers, researchers, and aspiring parents. This high-impact gathering will spark open conversations on the challenges, breakthroughs, ethics, and future of IVF in India.
Together, we will break the silence, dispel myths, highlight the importance of counselling, and celebrate the science of hope.
Be Part of the Movement. Be Part of the Miracle.
Let’s spread awareness. Let’s support each other.
Let’s turn hope into happiness.
